Dispatch one from Elektra should fittingly start with FEED from Kurt Hentschlager. This is the third and finally year of the presentation of this sold out crowd pleaser. It’s really an experience unlike any other. It starts with a piece of video music made of low pulses and writhing three dimensional polysexual beings which lasts […]

I had the opportunity to participate in The Ottawa Art Gallery’s critical writing series called Articulation this past weekend. This edition was with artist and critic Tom Sherman, but it was really a value added experience as the workshop was full of very bright and insightful people. It was a rare group dynamic with enough […]

I made a little field trip to Daïmõn to check out Bertrand R. Pitt‘s Horizons incertains installation presented in their studio space, but also had the pleasure of spending some time with Tim Dallett as he told me about the performance project he is currently working on while in residence. The energy at La Filature […]

The Electronic Art Expansion program has got underway. Michael Lechasseur led the initial weekend as artists Michael Ashley, Sean Lamothe, Elizabeth MacKinnon and Nathan Medema made their way through PureData again for the first time. Objects were created; bangs were banged and everyone got their computers up to speed. Well, almost everyone we had a […]
